Lore[edit | edit source]
Rapidly rising through the ranks of the Magistrate, Vivian's clever, persistent scheming got her appointed to the Deepwerks facility, where she was the first to recognize the military potential of the research they were conducting.
In the swirling chaos of the war with the Resistance, she sees only the opportunity to advance her station in life. Equipped with some of the most advanced crystal-powered weaponry ever created, she joins the battle not to prove herself or to follow orders, but to find and silence the lone witness of her true plans.
Summary[edit | edit source]
Vivian is a damage champion who can deal Sustained Damage with her Light Machine Gun up to medium range. She has the ability to protect her front upper body with her Deflector Shield. In addition she can throw out a deployable sensor that reveals enemies to her team in a large radius. By activating the ultimate she summons two Sentinel Drones that fire energy blasts while she shoot her Light Machine Gun and deals Burst Damage. Her weak point is her lack of Movement Abilities.
